Under Treatment For Cold, But Now Have Chest Tightness And Tingling In Hands. What Does It Indicate?

I have this sensation of chest tightness, I'm coughing (dry), and every time i cough i feel pins an needles on my hands. I had a bad cold and went to the doctor who prescribed Methylprednisolone and Azythromycin. I felt much better and was gradually recovering but after a few days again like getting the cold again. I was feeling better but now this.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If you are feeling better with this treatment then I would advise you to keep it continue only care you have to take is for steroid it has to reduce in dose every after third dose say if you are taking it thrice in day then reduce it to twice in day after three days and then gradually stop it 'Taper manner dose" again I would advise you to add long acting antihistamine along with this "Levocertirizine" would be good drug,, have nice day.
